liar! liar!

It’s been two months and a day since my last post. There has been things I have been wanting to write about but as summer is here, the urge to write paled in comparison to my urge to get out and have some sun. B came to town and spent 10 wonderful days with me, that altogether is worth a different post which I most likely will not write as I want to keep those memories for just him and I. I’ve moved out my old place but technically is still living in the same house. The details why I moved is not worth an ounce of time and energy for me to write. That chapter is closed and let me just reassure you that I am happy where I am at now.

Tonight I find myself doing laundry after coming home watching The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo at my friend’s place. And since I didn't have much to do in between loads, I decided to fix my blog due to a feedback given to me by my friend some two months ago. And since I'm on my blog already I might as well write something that has been festering in my mind. It first started Monday morning at work on my break. I chanced upon a newspaper and a particular article seemed to jump off the page and shake me from the core. Now if you knew me, I’m somewhat sardonic when it comes to reading newspapers. After all, so many years of reading about corruption and deception by people you vote for protect and enforce your rights I’ve somewhat trained my brain to be desensitized by lies. But Ashley Anne Kirilow is really a piece of work.

I’ve always tried to live by the saying “Don’t judge a book by its cover” and to keep any opinion about another person to myself especially if I don’t know that person. But really. When a woman fakes cancer for greed and attention, that pretty much is disgusting. Now I have never had cancer, and pray I never do, but I have had family members who’ve died from it and those who suffered from it. I have friends who’s has close relations who suffer from it. I may have never had it but I have a clear sense of how pain and trauma a person gets from it as well as the person’s friends and family. So how dare you Ashley Anne Kirilow insult those who have suffered and died from such disease as well as belittle the pain the family and friends of real cancer patients suffered.

God knows the burden of guilt she is carrying and the remorse she feels. She may have come out clean and apologized for her actions. But like all bad choices, consequences are there for her to face. The challenging part for her though is rebuilding the trust she has broken so badly especially with her family...if she is even given a chance.
